WEEK OF SUNDAY February 2nd through SATURDAY FEBRUARY the 8th of 2025

 SUNDAY:  Getting my three trash bins out this morning was a bit of a chore, due to snow and heavy fully filled bins.  Church was very good. I was trying hard to save two seats for Elizabeth and Elaine, since Peggy told me that they would be at church today, but they did not show up.  I think I will give up on saving seats for them.  Pastor Craig is in Mexico, so Jenny gave the sermon. 

It was very good, but I missed the last few minutes because I went down to the kitchen to help Peggy get ready for the CONNECT luncheon.  I opened up the tablecloths and put them on the tables, after helping to clean up the mess the kids made.  I also helped to recut the several Domino's pizzas.  They are never completely cut in the pizzerias.  We set up a small basket raffle (tickets were free).  The luncheon was pizza, green salad, drinks and desserts.  I had made two batches of cookies:  chocolate and chocolate chip.  There were several dessert items to choose from including cupcakes and a lemonade pie and monkey bread.  Terry Ackerman gave a very good devotional about Saul/Paul.  We sang a hymn.  Peggy could not find one of the items she needed for the craft project, so we did not do that.  I think there were about forty people there.  Marsha Schul won this item that I had donated for the raffle.  
She really likes it and immediately moved it to the Valentines Day display.  

Cindi is holding up the Israeli wall hanging, that Louise won.

When I got home, my wifi was not working.  I waited until after my nap to call SPECTRUM.  I was on the phone with two different guys but their final verdict was that the problem is with my router.  They have claimed that before, too.  However, shortly after I got off the phone with the second guy, all of a sudden my internet was working fine.  Go figure.   In the evening I called Leslie and we talked for a half hour or so.  She seemed to be a little depressed.  

MONDAY:  I had an appointment at BASIL TOYOTA to have my car inspected.  Before going there, I stopped at the library to read last Fridays newspaper, since Becky told me that the colorful Prophet Isaiahs house is being made into an art museum.  After BASIL, I stopped at the DOLLAR TREE to get a few items.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  Peggy came over and worked in the basement for a while.  She found a lot of interesting mementos which I will go through and scan.  Most likely I will need to buy a new scanner since I cannot figure out how to get mine connected to my computer.  

TUESDAY:  After Life Group, five of us went to PANERA'S for lunch:  Pam, me, Cindi, Glenda and Carol.  Then I went home where I spent the rest of the day.  I called Sue (my roommate for the upcoming cruise) to report on the meeting she missed last week.  I also got the name of the neurologist here in Lockport that she recently saw.  Dr. SINGH, on Professional Drive.  I think I will make an appointment.

I continued working on sorting through my pile of recipes, some cut out from magazines, and some handwritten recipes that were given to me or that I found here.  I got rid of a LOT of them, and kept the ones that I want to use, but I won't live that long.
